Royal Tour of North America: Day 7 - Slave Lake

Today was supposed to be a day off for William and Kate, but instead the royals decided to visit the town of Slave Lake in Alberta, which has been ravaged by fire. This has to be one of our favourite Kate looks so far.

Kate looked chic in those cropped navy J Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans, her Dolce Vita slingback espadrilles, a still-to-be-ID'd ruffle blouse and the navy Smythe blazer she wore when leaving Heathrow.

Kate was wearing the same Linda Camm belt she has sported before.

UPDATE: 08-07-11 - Pied A Terre posted the following on their Facebook:

"There seems to be some confusion over Kate Middleton's shoes. To clarify there are pictures of her wearing both Imperia (last seasons style) and Ivy P (this seasons style). They are very similar, practically identical. For those who love this look, Ivy P comes in black and cream (£75). However online its only available in cream at present...check the website for more stock."

We're still not convinced the above shoes are the Ivy P,

rather they look like the Imperia, but we'll let it go.

UPDATE: 11-28-11 - After nearly going blind trying to source Kate's ruffle blouse we're happy to report that Clare (via WKW) has ID'd it. The chiffon ruffle blouse that the Duchess of Cambridge wore under her Smythe blazer in Slave Lake is from Lauren by Ralph Lauren.

Royal Tour of North America: Day 6 - Yellowknife

Wills and Kate are in Yellowknife today.

The Prince participated in a street hockey game and from the result

its obvious that a puck and stick isn't Wills' strong suit.

We're liking the Cambridge jerseys -- poor

Will, he seems to always be second in line.

Kate's dress is the Bullet Dress by Malene Birger, now sold out at Selfridge's. Pretty if not a stand out. Where is some Christopher Kane neon when you need it?! The Birger dress is made of silk mix linen and features a green banded waist, perfect for reminding us just how tiny Kate's waist really is. The strong shoulders, pleating on the skirt and the high, round neckline also suit the Duchess' frame.

Accessories: L.K. Bennett Sledge2 nude pumps, mystery nude clutch

(please, someone help us out with this one!) and Kiki Mcdonough citrine drops.

Kate's face is priceless in the pic above.

Maybe she's not used to seeing Wills' miss?

Later on Kate got set for some wildnerness activites including a canoe ride (the royals actually seem to like this kind of stuff--yeah, we don't really get it either). Back on the scene were the J Brand jeans and Sebago boat shoes from yesterday, paired with a snap-button shirt and an interesting belt.

Kate's button-down is the Burberry London Military Pocket Jersey Shirt.

Kate's belt is by Kenyan designer Linda Camm

For the canoe ride Kate added a jacket and an Aquascutum check scarf.

William and Kate were gifted a set of diamond-covered bears from Harry Winston. He got cufflinks, she got a brooch, they were made from Canadian diamonds. We're still stuck on the fact that they are freakin' bears. Really? They couldn't have figured out a better design? We're guessing these will be relegated to the vault.



Then William and Kate were made honorary Rangers, whatever that means. Wills was cute, though, helping Kate put on her red sweater and they're apparently spending the night in the woods getting all romantical.
